:::: Program Note ::::
We are living in a world of many tragic events, whether from war, terrorism or other causes, and it is especially heartbreaking when the victims are young. I would like to dedicate my music to comfort and support the young lost souls and their families. Over the past year, several events in particular symbolize this theme of loss. The first was the Sewol Ferry disaster in April 2014 that claimed the lives of over 250 high school students in Korea. Last month, Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed in the Alps, taking the lives of all 150 passengers, including many high school exchange students. Also, in the same month, terrorists in Kenya killed 147 people, mostly college students. “Waves” in the title is a metaphor for those lost in the sea and the sky and also for the way their loss impacts our lives. This piece has three sections: the first “Elegy”, begins with a lyrical melody which resembles a traditional Korean singing style as it comforts the lost souls. The melodic line moves like waves and incorporates rhythmic music that represents the vibrant lives of the young victims; the second, “Lullaby”, includes a famous Korean lullaby (Sum-Jib A-gi translated into A Baby in a Seashore Cottage) in which a baby falls asleep listening to the waves and winds while the mother (a hae-nyeo, female diver) went to collect oysters in the sea; and the third, “Hope” is a compilation of musical elements representing the foundation of our hope for overcoming the waves of grief, and ends with a humming sound produced by high notes of violins which represents a child’s happy and relaxed way of humming.
